Transcript

00:00I heard someone was feeding him school cricket or club cricket.

00:04His father came to me and he started crying.

00:07Get him massaged, cook good food, he will cook food.

00:11And you just become his God and teach him cricket. We don't want anything.

00:15I have never seen him from the eyes of any other child.

00:19If I had seen him, maybe he wouldn't have become Shashvi Jaiswal.

00:30I asked him what his problem was.

00:40He said, sir, nobody lets me play in Mumbai.

00:43I have a lot of problems and I don't know what to do.

00:47He was a small boy.

00:48I asked him why he didn't let me play.

00:50He said, sir, they will ban you.

00:53If you go to play, they will hand you over to the police.

00:58I laughed a little.

01:00I said, why will they hand me over to the police?

01:02There were some people in Mumbai at that time

01:06who made a fake birth certificate and deposited it.

01:13There was a 112 tournament.

01:16To feed him, they made a fake Mumbai document and deposited it.

01:21And that certificate went viral.

01:24It's fake.

01:25Nobody was letting him play.

01:27If you want to play any tournament, you should have a birth certificate.

01:32He didn't have it.

01:33Because his parents were not here.

01:35There was a coach who wanted to feed him.

01:37So he made a fake birth certificate and fed him.

01:42He didn't know.

01:43It was not Shashvi's fault.

01:45And whoever did it, he put his hands up and walked away.

01:48Where is he now?

01:50I really don't know.

01:52Now his entire career was over.

01:55Nobody was letting him play school cricket.

01:57Nobody was letting him play club cricket.

01:59He was just practicing.

02:00He was 12 years old.

02:01Yes, 12 years old.

02:02Mentally, he was finished.

02:05He was just a kid.

02:06Yes.

02:07He didn't have a place to live.

02:08He didn't have money to eat.

02:10He didn't have a parent's background.

02:11He didn't have a coach.

02:12You bring the turning point of his life.

02:14Tell us that.

02:15I called some people in Mumbai cricket.

02:17All my influential people.

02:19Everyone said, Jwala bhai, where are you taking him?

02:22That boy is over age.

02:23Over age?

02:24Yes, he will be banned.

02:25Your hard work will be wasted.

02:27So I took him to the coach.

02:29I said, look, this is the boy.

02:30He said, Jwala bhai, is this the boy?

02:32He is very small.

02:33People say he is very big.

02:35He used to tell wrong things about me.

02:37It was a tournament called Guile Shield.

02:39So I said, go play.

02:41He said, sir, I won't play.

02:43Why?

02:44The same thing.

02:45He said, people will ban me.

02:46And at that time, someone was on the ground.

02:49He said, don't play.

02:50Play next year.

02:51By then, your case will be closed.

02:53So I said, what is your case?

02:55It will be closed.

02:56So I understood the case.

02:58I said, you go and play.

03:00And I am there.

03:01Whatever happens, is in my hands.

03:03If you trust me, then go.

03:05If you don't trust me, then pick up your bag and go home.

03:07This is the word I said to him.

03:09So out of fear, out of my fear, he went.

03:11I will play.

03:12Yes, you will play.

03:13Because he thought that he will get it with great difficulty.

03:15Now he shouldn't go either.

03:16Now he shouldn't go either.

03:17So he came to me after playing the match in the evening.

03:19So I said, what happened?

03:21Did the police come?

03:22Did someone come to you?

03:23Did someone beat you?

03:24Did someone throw you out?

03:25He said, no, sir.

03:26I said, why are you so scared?

03:27Now go and do something good.

03:29Now I am with you.

03:30Whatever happens, I will see.

03:32And you have to trust me.

03:34And you have to play.

03:36Then he went to the next match.

03:37And he ran 319.

03:39Wow.

03:40And not 13 wickets.

03:41So his father came to me.

03:42And he started crying.

03:44Now you have met him.

03:45God has heard us.

03:46Now after today, he is your son.

03:49You get him to do whatever work you want him to do at home.

03:52Get him to sweep, get him to do the laundry.

03:54Get him to do the dishes.

03:55Make him a servant.

03:56This is his wording.

03:57Yes, exactly.

03:58Get him to massage.

04:00Make him cook good food.

04:01He will cook food too.

04:02And you just become his God and teach him cricket.

04:05We don't want anything.

04:06Wow.

04:07So on that trust and that faith, I took that child in my hands.

04:11I became his guardian.

04:12Then I guided him.

04:13So in this way, he came out of that big racket that he was stuck in.

04:18And he started playing.

04:20So this is his beginning.

04:21I have never seen him from the eyes of any other child.

04:25If I had seen him, maybe he wouldn't have become Shashvi Jaiswal.
